Together, through counseling and mindfulness exercises, we will work to bring peace into your life. I can provide a safe space to process and problem solve issues that are hard to discuss, such as hormonal changes and the aging process. We will connect and explore.

At Boulder Integrated Counseling, we understand that it can be difficult for parents to know how to support their child when they're struggling and that taking the first step to finding the right support can be overwhelming. MaryAnn McGinnis, NCC and Jennifer Melvin, LCSW are a team of Licensed Psychotherapists and School Counselors who together have over 30 years of experience working with youth ages 11-19. Drawing on our training in counseling psychology and education, we bring our expertise to helping you and your child develop the critical skills needed to navigate these complex times. Our approach is grounded in a unique combination of exploring, strengthening, and promoting emotional and academic growth. We create a safe space for our clients to engage in therapy to gain insight and develop tools to live a more balanced life.

I support clients in using art materials and processes as a way to make visual, tangible contact with whatever is beneath the surface. Art making, within the container of a collaborative therapeutic relationship, can create pathways for expression, understanding, and acceptance of your dark parts while tapping into your innate capacity for resilience and healing. Images can give voice to your experience where words fall short. Through exploring art and creativity, you might also learn ways to cope with impulses and overwhelm, find grounding, and self regulate. You do not need to be an artist or have any art experience to benefit from Art Therapy!

I have experience and specific training in working with teens and adults identifying in the LGBTQ+ community. I look forward to supporting your self-discovery.
